Moss house number 2.0: Transplantating moss patches onto the old paste. The results look fabulous so far!

Our latest versions of the floor plans, along with a few more rough elevation sketches to help you understand how the house will fit into the site. There are still quite a few question marks, and they’re only accurate to about 15 cm oder so, but I do feel they’re really, really good.

Not a short post, but there you are. ;-) Mushrooms, vermiculture, and pumpkin shoots!

And I’ll finally spill some beans on the current state of the actual building project. Worms and mushrooms, that can’t be all now can it?

Warning: This is by far the blog post with the most pictures I’ve ever written – there’s almost more pictures than characters! And it took me close to half a year to write as well. But all those pictures serve very well to illustrate the whole process of building a fat, massive 2½ ton “mud” stove in a four day workshop. It was absolutely brilliant!

I have one ongoing experiment that I have only mentioned in passing: growing oyster mushrooms at home, hopefully with little effort involved. After a learning experience I am now the excited owner of two bins-o-shrooms!

In an effort to keep a more regular posting rhythm, this is just a short post picking up some loose ends that are lying around: The worms in the kitchen, the moss house number, and a long-standing queue of posts waiting to be written.

As I mentioned in an earlier post, I’m really no good at juggling objects with three dimensions in my head. So it being winter and the mud outside being a little too cold for my taste, I obtained a recipe for perfect, cheap, and fairly stable, playdough to try and externalise the muddles in my brain.

As I said before, after reading Gaia’s Garden (and another German permaculture book from our local library) I had this sudden urge to go permacultural right now. Urban gardening, yay!
